When Song Xia returned to the villa, it was nearly 10 p.m. Although she had eaten something, she saw that Wu Ma had stewed another pot of bird's nest, so she sat down and drank it as well.

Seeing this, Aunt Wu felt a little relieved. She was afraid that Song Xia would still hold a grudge against her previous indulgence. She was deluded and forgot her status in this family. Even if the master didn't come back, Song Xia was still approved by the old man, and the young master didn't reject her. Why should a nanny like her give her attitude?

"Is Ji Ye asleep?"

"Yeah, I just played with the dog before going upstairs."

Song Xia chuckled softly, still feeling awkward inside, like a child at heart.

"Since he just came upstairs, he probably hasn't gone to sleep yet. He bought a little trinket at the auction, could you please take it up to him?"

"Oh! Madam, you're too kind." Wu Ma's eyelids twitched again. She went out and still went out to buy things for the young master. This thoughtfulness was much better than that of the young master's own mother.

After finishing the bird's nest, Song Xia ignored everything else, put the puppy in its kennel and went to prepare the soup for visiting the old man tomorrow. This innocent little thing is so good; as long as you give it some food, it wags its tail and clings to you.

On the third floor, upon hearing that Song Xia had bought it at an auction and given it to him, Ji Ye felt awkward for a while: "Didn't she say anything else?"

"No, let me give you this."

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing him like this, Aunt Wu felt sorry for him. Although he was the young master of the Ji family, apart from the old master, had the master and his ex-wife ever taken care of the young master for even a day? Moreover, the old master was getting older and his health was not good. He also had to manage the company's affairs, so he naturally could not take care of the young master in every way. She had seen the young master cry and fuss for his parents when he was a child, but he became more and more silent as he grew up.

Now it seems that the young master does need the care of an elder. The old man must have thought of this as well, which is why he suppressed the husband from letting the wife marry into the family. After all, she was just a nanny, so what right or status did she have to give the young master the care he needed?

Ji Ye opened it and saw that it was a cyberpunk watch, and he raised his eyelids in surprise.

Wu Ma didn't understand what young people liked, but seeing Ji Ye's expression, she knew he liked the gift very much, and she sighed inwardly.

Has she gone back to her room?

"Not yet! I guess the food at the banquet won't suit my taste. Luckily, I stewed a pot of bird's nest beforehand."

"Hmm." Ji Ye turned around, placed the watch on the desk, and then went downstairs.

He wasn't ungrateful; the other person had just cooked him a meal and remembered to buy him a gift after going out. He should go down and express his gratitude. Moreover, he hadn't noticed any ulterior motives from the other person. A simple thank you was nothing.

Standing at the kitchen doorway, he awkwardly said, "Watch, thanks."

Song Xia smiled indifferently: "No need to thank me, it was bought with your Ji family's money anyway. If we weren't going to buy this, we would have bought something else."

She genuinely didn't think there was anything worth mentioning about it. Since it was a charity gala, she naturally had to give the host face. She had only gone out for a short trip, so what difference did it make what she bought?

Ji Ye knew this was true, but the Ji family had attended quite a few charity galas before, but who remembered to buy anything for him?

However, since Song Xia didn't want to say more, he didn't bring it up again. Instead, he looked at the casserole and asked, "What are you doing so late?"

Song Xia didn't even look up: "I'm going to see your grandfather tomorrow. I'm thinking that he's tired of the food at the nursing home, so I'll bring some food from home. There won't be enough time to make soup tomorrow morning, but simmering it on low for half the night should be enough."

Ji Ye took another serious look at her back. Even if it was an act, she was doing it perfectly. No matter what she wanted in the future, as long as it put her grandfather at ease now, she would try her best to satisfy him.

"I'll join you too."

Song Xia did not refuse, but made room for him and smiled, "Then Grandpa Tang will definitely be happy to drink this soup tomorrow. You wash these mushrooms."

"Um."

It was Ji Ye's first time doing this kind of work, so he was a little curious and clumsy, but he still patiently washed them one by one.

[How thoughtful! No wonder that girl always seeks him out.]

Ji Ye paused in washing the mushrooms. Attentive? Himself? What girl? Which girl had come looking for him?

For the first time, Ji Ye began to doubt whether what he was saying was true or false. Why couldn't he understand it?

It wasn't that he didn't want to ask, but once he did, how would he explain it? And how would he get along with Song Xia in the future? Therefore, he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and see what else he could hear in the future.

That's about it.

Wu Ma stepped forward at the right moment: "Madam, young master, you can go upstairs to sleep without worry. I'll keep an eye on things."

"Then thank you for your trouble." Song Xia didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that the puppy was still whimpering and hadn't fallen asleep, she picked it up and prepared to take it back to her room.

"Say goodnight to my brother."

Ji Ye held his breath. How did he become a dog's brother? But seeing the puppy's big, wet eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Taking the opportunity, Song Xia asked, "Do you want to sleep with it?"

"No way." Ji Ye gritted his teeth, then strode upstairs. When he saw the watch on the desk, he held it up in front of the mirror and tried it on for a while. This taste was indeed to his liking.

Song Xia chuckled twice. Wu Ma watched with delight. The young master was becoming more and more lively. Sure enough, having multiple formal masters in the family made a difference. The old man was so insightful. She had almost ruined the old man's important plans and almost lost her good job.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness my wife didn't hold it against me, and I admitted my mistake quickly. I'll stay up all night to make sure this soup is safe.

After returning to the room, the puppy quickly found its bed and peacefully closed its eyes to sleep. Song Xia, feeling relaxed, removed her makeup and took a comfortable bath.

Putting everything else aside, this villa is the most comfortable place to live. It has everything you need, the temperature is just right, and even the guest room is spacious.

Signing this agreement with Grandpa Ji was a win for her. She only had to sacrifice getting a marriage certificate with Ji Jianfei, and by taking care of Ji Ye and attending some necessary Ji family events, she could get so many benefits. It can only be said that Grandpa Ji didn't have the time or the inclination to meet more people, otherwise he would have had better options.

Whether it's for the system's mission or because of a promise to Grandpa Ji, she will definitely take good care of Ji Ye so that he won't go down the wrong path he did in his previous life.

Tsk, Ji Ye seems like a smart kid, how come he was so infatuated with a woman that he lost everything, even his family business? Can such small favors make him so fond of her, even to the point of losing himself? There are so many women in the world, is it really necessary? It's like he's been bewitched.
